Dumper

A dumper to download whole image galleries of the most popular boards (aka, those I care). It's modular, so you can add a website just putting its module in lib/dumper/profiles.

If you wish to use a graphical user interface, you can use DumperUI.

$ gem install image-dumper

Profiles are the scripts that handle the dump of a website. They are divided in the following types and are useful to understand how to give them the --from and --to parameters.

• images A page containing a bunch of images. You can choose how many images it has to dump.
• pages You can choose how many pages it has to dump and you will get all the images present on each page.
• chapters It will dump a specific chapter of a manga.

Moreover, you can set how many threads you want to provide the dumper with --threads MIN:MAX.

$ dumper --list # list profiles

$ dumper --help # show the help and all the available commands

$ dumper --info 4chan # show all the info available for the given profile

$ dumper --url "http://boards.4chan.org/wg/res/5280736" --path images --threads 1:4

$ dumper --url "http://www.mangaeden.com/en-manga/nisekoi" --path nisekoi --from 3 --to 9

$ dumper --url "http://www.mangaeden.com/en-manga/nisekoi" --path nisekoi --from 10 --to 10 --output nisekoi.log --profile mangaeden

$ dumper --file stuff.txt --silence # dump all the lines formatted in the "URL||PATH" way
